Well the rump of the 041 cam and noises of a hot valve train with Rhodes lifters should fill your sonic needs for the car, but with these lifters I would only advance the Cam 2 degrees which takes care of normal timing chain stretch.

Q-jet wise in the least you will still need to run A lighter power piston spring and then with the motor hot confirm that idle mixture screw have good effect when being moved both in and out from a mostly decent idle setting. If the Q-jet you are running is not off a 68 to 70 motor then I do not think you will get a high enough hot idle out of the motor without also having a off idle stumble.

In this case the air bleeds need to be reworked and while kit’s to do this are sold, you might just want to send the Carb out for this work if you’re leery of doing such yourself.
